Entry copying begins with kidnapping Wang Yuyan

In my perception, the sounds of clothes rustling and weapons clashing blended together, gradually drawing closer.

Wang Yuyan asked, "Should we go away for a while?"

Li Mo nodded: "Let's go back to the ship and leave. It's not a good time to get involved in the affairs of the martial world."

After fighting Ding Busi, he gained a certain understanding of his own strength, but he was not blinded by victory.

This isn't just any one world; there are too many old monsters lurking in the shadows. His strength is far from enough to get involved in everything, even if it brings him good fortune.

Bai Axiu and Shi Xiaocui were weaker than Li Mo and the other two, so they had no reason to object. The group extinguished the fire and quickly returned to the boat.

As dawn broke, Youcao took the initiative to take over the task of rowing the boat.

She stood at the bow of the boat, imitating Li Mo's rowing style, and she did a pretty good job, although the occasional way she poked in the water like Li Mo was quite funny.

Wang Yuyan chuckled: "Alright, Youcao, how could you possibly poke a fish up like that!"

Youcao muttered, "I think it looks so easy for the son-in-law to poke fish; the movements are all the same."

Wang Yuyan: That's the application of internal energy. Your martial arts are still weak, so don't try to learn it.

Looking at Li Mo, I saw him sitting at the stern of the boat, his eyes closed in deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

She didn't disturb them, just watched quietly. Just like that, she felt better than ever before, and she didn't mind staying on the ship forever.

Bai Axiu shared the same expression. The young girl rowed her boat while looking at Li Mo. Although she could only see his back, she still felt happy.

"Ah Xiu, I've found out everything." Shi Xiaocui's injuries had healed considerably, and her words were no longer broken. "That Miss Wang has already pledged her life to Young Master Li. You shouldn't get too involved."

Bai Axiu snapped out of her reverie, her expression slightly somber: "I understand, Grandma."

He lowered his head and continued rowing, but his gaze kept drifting ahead.

As the sun rose, its rays bathed the figure in front of her in a golden glow, and Bai Axiu's heart skipped a beat.

……

"What path should martial arts training take in the future?"

Sitting at the stern, Li Mo began to think.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Since you want to cultivate yourself, you must make good decisions and absolutely not wander around like a headless fly.

"I've mastered the three aspects of essence, energy, and spirit." With these thoughts racing through his mind, Li Mo quickly made a decision: "Since I possess unparalleled talent and aptitude, I should naturally become a well-rounded warrior."

However, the martial arts manuals in Langhuan Jade Cave were not enough to support his ambitions.

In terms of internal energy, it's easy to say. There are powerful martial arts such as Lesser Formless Skill, Crane's Cry in the Nine Heavens, and Arhat Subduing Demon Divine Skill, so the internal energy cultivation is currently sufficient.

However, it is somewhat lacking in terms of skill, possessing only a first-rate Hunyuan Gong and ordinary martial arts such as Iron Shirt.

As for gods, they are even further behind; there isn't a single book in the Langhuan Jade Cave.

"It seems I'll have to work hard to collect some martial arts manuals in the future," Li Mo thought to himself, focusing his attention on the Hunyuan Gong.

This martial art is a first-class skill that works from the outside in, including stance training, palm techniques, and internal energy cultivation. It may seem ordinary, but it is actually a martial art without any weaknesses.

If one cultivates it to its peak, it will not be weak.

He stood up and stood in the stance for a while. After only a few breaths, he felt a strange power begin to flow through his body, strengthening his physical body bit by bit and gathering in his dantian.

Soon after, the cycle reversed, and the internal energy began to nourish the physical body.

This process is so subtle that most people wouldn't even notice it.

But in his perception, it was crystal clear, as if a master teacher was carefully analyzing and explaining the entire process of "refining essence into qi and refining qi back to essence".

His unparalleled comprehension was truly extraordinary; all the changes in his body were revealed as if under a microscope.

With a thought in his mind, he began to practice the Hunyuan Palm.

As the palm technique was executed, a mysterious power was activated, strengthening the body and repeating the previous process.

"Standing meditation and palm techniques both refine essence into qi, and then refine qi back into essence. Through this cycle, internal strength and essence naturally become stronger and stronger, but it puts a considerable burden on people. No, ordinary people don't cultivate that quickly. As long as their three meals a day aren't too bad, they can basically meet their cultivation needs."

Only he, because of his rapid cultivation speed, experienced the feeling that "the circulation of vital energy is too fast, which will lead to a depletion of the body's energy."

But this did not stump him. In the blink of an eye, the power of Yin and Yang flowed, and a trace of the essence of heaven and earth was drawn in.

Instantly, a power that was sometimes cold and sometimes hot flowed into his body, and then slowly merged into his flesh as he used his palm technique.

With the addition of the essence of heaven and earth, the progress of Hunyuan Gong cultivation accelerated dramatically. He completed the first level in just a short time, which was equivalent to several months for an ordinary person.

As Li Mo experienced the changes in his body, he felt his physical strength increase slightly. After thinking for a moment, he added the Iron Shirt technique to his training.

Iron Shirt is originally a difficult skill that requires slapping the whole body and then applying ointment, repeating this process repeatedly, which is time-consuming and laborious.

He skipped that step and directly cultivated the internal energy that came with Iron Shirt, using the essence of heaven and earth to temper his physical body.

Various martial arts concepts flew through his mind, and the two martial arts styles quickly merged in his mind.

Both Hunyuan Gong and Tiebushan are methods for cultivating the "essence".

Hunyuan Gong emphasizes strength and refining essence into qi, while Tiebushan focuses on defense.

There are some overlaps between the two, so integrating them is not difficult.

The new martial art is based on Hunyuan Gong, but a method for tempering the body is added during the "Refining Qi and Returning Essence" process, so that the body not only has the great power of Hunyuan Gong, but also the defense of Iron Shirt.

Through this fusion, the upper limit of Hunyuan Gong became higher and its power stronger, but it also became only suitable for geniuses like Li Mo to cultivate.

There's no way around it; divine skills have always been like this, only suitable for a small number of people to cultivate.

While he was practicing, his gaze suddenly fell upon a corpse on the surface of the water ahead.

The corpse floated beside the reeds, dressed entirely in cloth, with a short dagger stuck in its chest.

The word "treasure" floated above the corpse.

"Youcao, glide over and take a look," Li Mo instructed Youcao, pointing at the corpse.

"Yes, son-in-law."

Youcao was quite bold. When she saw the corpse, she was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she quickly started rowing the boat.

Standing next to the reeds, the view became even clearer.

The deceased was a middle-aged man who had not only a wound on his chest but also two finger marks on his neck.

Li Mo gathered his true energy in his hand and used it as a glove to search the body of the deceased. He quickly found a few pieces of silver, a token, and a map.

The map was hidden very well, wrapped in layers of oiled paper and tucked close to the body to the chest. It had been soaked in water for who knows how long, but it didn't get wet at all.

Wang Yuyan's eyes flickered, and she said, "This is a token from the Sky Eagle Sect. This person must be a disciple of the Sky Eagle Sect."

"The Eagle Sect?" Li Mo casually tossed the object into the water, flipped open the map, examined it closely, and suddenly exclaimed in unison with Wang Yuyan, "Emei!"

Just then, Bai Axiu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Li, did you also find a treasure map?" She used her lightness skill to land on the boat, took out a map from her sleeve, and handed it over. "I have one here too, and the location also points to Emei. Could it be the same one?"
